Venezuela, The Roraima Black Frog or the Roraima Bush Toad

Venezuela, The Roraima Black Frog or the Roraima Bush Toad
Oreophrynella quelchii, commonly known as the Roraima black frog or Roraima bush toad, is a species of toad in the family Bufonidae. This species is restricted to the transboundary summit of Mount Roraima in Venezuela, Guyana and Brazil. It has been recorded at elevations of 2,300–2,800 m (7,500–9,200 ft) above sea level.
Oreophrynella quelchii was described as Oreophryne Quelchii by George Albert Boulenger in 1895. The description was based on one of the several specimens collected from the summit of Mount Roraima by Mr. J. J. Quelch and Mr. F. McConnell. The species was named for the former.
